Abstract
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) services are a popular offering for some academic libraries and the growth of these services illustrates their value to diverse disciplines and scholars. However, continuous growth without strategic planning can overextend library resources and staff. Planned abandonment is a planning strategy used to guide an organization in the removal of unsustainable structures and services in order to promote innovation and user satisfaction. This case study describes how planned abandonment was applied to GIS licensing services at a large research university library in order to identify a collaborative approach to GIS services across campus.
